Chit-chat littleman

Few dialogues with littleman.

Currently littleman is taking extra class for bahasa malaysia;
Mrs mama: littleman, how do you learn malay in your class? Teacher leen speaks malay with you?
Littlema: Yes.
Mrs mama: How about you? You speak malay too?
Littleman: No, English.
Mrs mama: So, you learn malay in englsih?
Littleman: I speak English at school.

Dulu masa darjah satu, korang belajar english camner yek? cikgu ckp english or melayu? Mrs mama dulu darjah satu di SK Tunku Raudzah, Aloq Setaq. Cikgu nama Datin Laili. Kalau tak silap cikgu tu ckp campur2 sbb tak semua students paham. How about you?


While littleman you-tubing Upin and Ipin;
Mr Ayah: You watch Upin and Ipin in malay…
Littleman: Yes.
Mr Ayah: You understands Malay?
Littleman: No.


While watching Amazing Race Finale, scene turun bangunan 62 tingkat;
Littleman: Mama, why you not in it?
Mrs mama: You want me to climb down the building? It's too high.
Littleman: Yes, be careful ok. Don't die.
Mrs mama: You don't want me to die?
Littleman: If you die, i'll miss you.
mrs mama: *senyum je...
Littleman: Tomorrow you contest.
mrs mama: Erk!!! *layankan je la...

FIFA World Cup 2010 Draw

WC 2010 Grouping

Demam World Cup baru nak mula. Baru2 ni FIFA buat draw utk tentukan grouping 32 negara yg layak utk bertanding kat South Africa bulan Jun 2010 nanti. According to FIFA, South Africa is all geared up to host the world most watched event. 10 stadiums are waiting the teams from all over the world. But the highlight will be at the newly built Green Point Stadium, Cape Town.

Sekali tgk pada grouping, nampaknya mcm saingan lebih pada Group A. The controversial France is grouped together dgn Mexico, Uruguay and tuan rumah South Africa. All 3 countries are known for their capability as "giant killer". South Africa lak have the advantage being the host nation, sure semangat lebih.

Another interesting group is probably Group G. Brazil dgn Portugal satu group. Most people predicted, these two teams will be the favorites for semis nanti. We'll see how la.

Nampak gaya Jun 2010 nanti ramai la orang akan MC, dtg opis lambat, ngantuk kat opis for a very obvious reason. Whatever it is, hopefully World Cup 2010 will be an interesting event for the football (soccer for you Americans) fans all over the world..

Behold.... The Power of the Omnitrix

It started when an alien diviced did what it did
And stuck itself upon his wrist with secrets that it hid
Now he's got super powers he's no ordinary kid
He's ben 10
( ben 10, ben 10)
So if you see him you might be in for a big surprize
He'll turn into and alien befor your very eyes
He's tiny creepy fast and strong he's every shape and size
He's ben 10
(ben 10, ben 10)
I'll bet he's got it he's on the case
Fighting evil from earth or space
He'll never stop till he saves the day
Now he's the baddest kid to ever save the day
He's ben 10
(ben 10, ben 10)
(BEN, 10)
(ben 10)

We managed to watched Ben 10 - The Power of the Omnitrix (Live on Stage) at KL Convention Center during the Aidul-Adha weekend. Surprisingly KLCC was fulled with parents and children. We took the 5.00 pm show on Saturday. Littleman was so excited eversince he saw the ads on tv. But we have always keep it a secret regarding the tickets until the day before the show. Littleman was all geared up for the show. Mentally and physically. He wore his new Ben10 t-shirt and brought along the his "old" Omnitrix.

We managed to get center seats behind the console. In fact, before the the show started, littleman managed to have a chat with Wan Zaleha Radzi prior to the show. They talked about all sorts Ben10 stuffs and its alien forms. Wan Zaleha knows a lot about Ben10. Guess she have to know about it, since its her company that brings the show in KL.

For kids, I guess its a great show. The special effects, musics, lightings was fully digitized. The stunts were also not bad. The only thing that are lacking is the stage looks a bit "empty" since they are using less props, and more digitized props.

Overall, the Power of the Omnitrix is a great show.. We are really glad that littleman enjoyed it. He keeps talking about it on and on.. In fact before we went home, littleman managed to get himself the "new" Omnitrix at Toys R' Us...

Congratulations Littleman

This is an overdue post..

On Nov 21 all of us went to the Annual Charity Concert 2009 - Kinderland D'shire & Kota Damansara. The theme for this year is "Just You and I Can Make the Difference". The concert was for a good cause, whereby all the collection will go to UNICEF. We were told that, there are RM5,000 was collected from the sales of the concert tickets.

On the same time, the graduating class of six years old received their scrolls. Littleman was one of them. As parents we feel so proud seeing him on stage walking confidently to receive his scroll complete with his graduation robe and mortar board. He really looks calm and confidence as he walks to get his "scroll".

Littleman and his gang performed "The Boys are Back" from HSM 3. He seems energetic dancing on the stage. Unfortunately, he was placed at the back of the group. Hence its quite hard to find him in the beginning. Not bad for six years old, they did some breakdance move, they flipped and all sorts of HSM3 movements. Its soo Zac Afron.

The other performance by the other classes was also not bad. Black & White by the King of Pop, the late MJ performed by five years old kids was cool. Up till today, littleman always asked for mr ayah's hat so that he can performed some MJ's moves.

All in all, the whole concert went well. Entertaining and meaningful, for littleman at least. Something for him to cherish later. Mrs mama did record some performances and the graduation via video cam. But we are still figuring how to burn it on a DVD.

Littleman, you made us proud.. May you grow up as a bright young man...

Thomas freak

We bought these 2 DVDs, Hero of the Rails and Railway Friends from amazon.com. Both dvds are in Malaysia, arrived few weeks ago, but yet to pick them up. It will be a surprise for littleman. He had been anticipated for the Hero of the Rails dvd since July. The dvd was released on September 5th, 2009 in US. (Railway Friends tu beli sbb nak cukupkan dpt free shipping.)

However, last weekend he started to watch new dvd teaser on the youtube.

Littleman: Mama, I want splish splash splosh.
Mrs. Mama: Aper tu? Tak pernah dengar pun!
Littleman: Ader la... I saw it last night (entah masa bilernyer dier tgk last night tak tau la, pdhal baru that day dier tgk youtube)

I just typed "splish splash splosh thomas" and hit the search button. Berderet video on SSS keluar. Wahhh!! mana pulak budak nie dpt? Dah tak tgk Hero of the Rails ke? Nie mesti new series from Thomas and Friends.

Semalam teringat la nak google psl SSS tu. Betul la... it's a new series, will be released on January 5th, 2010. Wahh! advanced betul anak bujang nie. Yg di-order pun belum pi amik, dah anticipate for new dvd pulak. Nasib baik next year baru nak keluar.

*pictures are taken from Amazon.com

By the way, last sunday littleman got new hair cut. Jenuh gak nak paksa dia potong rambut. At last dier setuju juga setelah dijanjikan untuk membeli cd/dvd for him. Mrs mama plan to go to Ampang Point since there is no toy shop over there. But mr ayah suggested going to GE mall instead. And mr ayah was very much aware littleman will "pow" us more than cd/dvds since there is a Choo CHoo Train outlet in GE mall.

As expected, in less than 5 minutes inside Choo choo train, littleman already grabbed 2 sets of trains, Hiro and Patchwork Hiro (Hiro is the new character in Hero of the Rails). Nasib baik dier tak nampak the whole set of the series, set tu letak tinggi kat atas.. hehehe... oh! and dier tak jadi beli cd/dvd coz he was expecting to get the splish splash splosh dvd, which we guess won't be available in Malaysia.

*This Thomas freak will be watching Ben10 Power of the Omnitrix Live on Stage on November 28th, 2009. Come and join us... :)

Mr No who doesn't accept No

Remember Mr. No? Littleman got that title when he was in the nursery in West Haven, CT. This littleman always say 'No' to almost everything u ask. Sekarang pun mcm tu jugak, sesekali...

Situation: On our way back to Taiping. Upon entering the PLUS highway... (lagi 300km to reach taiping)

Littleman: Are we there yet, ayah?

Mr ayah: No. Jauh lagi la. Why don't you sleep first.

Littleman: Say almost ayah... Are we there yet, mama?

Mrs mama: No.

Littleman: I said almost!

Mrs mama: Ok, almost...

About 100km, we stopped at one of the hentian rehat.

Littleman: Are we there yet?

Mrs. mama: Err... errr... almost!

And we kept saying almost the entire journey becoz he didn't accept No for an answer... adoi la...

Meet Dr. Ting

So, littlebro pun dah di-introduced to Dr. Ting... Been planning to continue littlebro's immunisation with Dr. Ting, tapi asyik tertangguh sbb kalah psycho nak drive all the way ke Puchong from Keramat/KD.

We went to dr ting because littlebro got flu, cough, and phelgm. Masuk 3rd night, his phelgm dah berkurangan tapi belum hilang, so kena continue another 2 nights. Littlebro nie cool je biler amik neb. Memang berbeza la dgn littleman yang meraung all the way the process masa kecik2 dulu. Littlebro nie nangis gak la biler dah lama sgt takleh nak bebas bergerak, cuma takde la sehebat tangisan littleman :D

Pics below were snapped on our 2nd night to dr ting's clinic:

And these 2 on the 3rd night:

Sudah tak heran. boleh tido lagi... hehehe...

And below are pics of littleman when he was admitted in Columbia hosp, puchong due to diarrhea (Sept 26th-29th):

Hayl Arsyad is 3 months old

Kejap je rasa masa berlalu. Dah 3 bulan dah our littlebro nie. Dah pandai nak borak2, sengih2 kat org. Pandai juga mengorat dgn senyuman so that org akan dukung dia. Siapa yg tak cair biler a baby stare at you sambil tersenyum-senyum?

Muka littlebro yg tersengih2 tu la yg buat mama dier dok teringat2 kat opis. Gerammmm!!! :D

The 13th International Symposium of Victimology

Location: Tokiwa Uni, Mito, Ibaraki, Japan

Duration: 23-28 Aug 2009

Mr ayah was given the golden the opportunity to present a paper which was co-authored with Dr Gaboury entitled "Establishing Human Trafficking Centers Globally: Humanitarian & Economic Perspectives during the abovementioned symposium.

Stacey, mr ayah & Dr G

Parallel session no.5, slot no.1 (Human Trafficking I), which was the 1st to go. Dr. G decided to let the student to present, which mr ayah and his colleague Stacey did. Alhamdulillah it went smooth. Stacey did the 1st part, and mr ayah did the next portion of the paper, which is the proposed solutions/conceptual proposal. Stacey is a CJ major in her Sr. year. She helps a lot for our paper. Tak sangka ramai lak yg berminat nak bertanya, tapi due to time constraint, the chair allows 3 Qs. Semua nak tuju kat mr ayah lak tu, tapi Alhamdulillah boleh la jawab.

mr ayah in action.. hehehe

The paper looks into human trafficking in the perspective of economy and humanitarian, yg mana the research focus on the economical aspect of a country that contribute to the push & pull factor of human trafficking activities. The establishment of human trafficking centers globally would be the workable solutions to address both reactive and proactive measurement to stop the crime. The centers would be best deployed at regional and sub regional level, since every region/country have their own unique issues and challenges regarding human trafficking.

muka lega dah abis present paper

Mr ayah would like to thank beloved mrs mama for the great support and understanding. Can't really do it without your support & patience. To all family members and friends for the prayers and encouragements. Special thanks to Dr G, for giving the opportunity and advices during the preparation of the paper. (Siap offer nak jadi SV kalau nak buat PhD nanti tu. Ada la dekat 10x dia ulang)

InsyaAllah we are working towards to publish this paper in one of the journals later.

If only mr ayah can share this with Arwah Ayah.. Ayah, this is for you...

Heading to the Land of the Rising Sun

Present Location: KLIA
Destination: Tokiwa Uni, Mito, Ibaraki, Japan

Mr ayah skrg ni tgh tunggu flight nak ke Jepun. Alhamdulillah, at the very last minutes the management bagi approval utk ke sana. Tujuan trip kali ni utk present the paper yg mr ayah prepare masa buat MSc dia dulu. Mr ayah is the co-author of the paper with his supervisor. The paper was accepted by the International Symposium of Victimology few months ago, cuma opis mr ayah je baru bagi approval utk pegi.

Terasa pressure gak nak present paper kat International forum ni. Sure ramai Prof2 yg cerdik pandai standby nak critic nanti. Sure ramai expert2 dari seluruh pelosok alam ada nanti. Dah la kena time bulan puasa ni. Mr ayah punya session will the the 1st slot of parallel session #5 in symposium, since ada 8 parallel session lain. Awalnya... Hopefully all will go well.

Tiap kali dtg KLIA ni sure terasa sentimental. Dah la sejak balik dari US, dah 5-6 kali ke KLIA ni sebab tugas luar. Kat KLIA ni la last dgn arwah ayah. Everytime lalu the exact same spot lepas turun dari escalator nak masuk departure, sure pusing blkg tgk atas. Still terbayang2 lambaian dia masa nak pegi US dulu. Pejam celik Dec 2007 dah lama dah berlalu.

InsyaAllah with all the doa' from the love ones, hopefully the presentation in Japan ni went well.

Mr ayah dedicate this presentation for Almarhum Ayahanda, Hamzah Mohamed. Al-Fatihah.

Update...

Last update was one and a half month ago. Lama betul tinggalkan blog nie tak berupdate. Buka pun sbb nak click link kengkawan je.

So, what we've been up to? 1st week of July we moved to our own house in KD. Littleman is back in kindie again. Tak susah nak suruh dier pi school, as he always likes to go to school. Boring kot ngadap muka mrs mama kat rumah :P

Our long awaited container finally arrived on 4th week of July. Rumah yg dah almost clear from kotak2 masa pindah weeks ago, dah penuh balik! Memang terasa mcm duduk dlm stor... itupun byk juga kotak2 org yg tumpang container dah terus tuju to their own destination. Else, mmg tak muat la nak masuk dlm rumah tu.

Mr ayah dah 2 kali outstation since we moved to KD. Struggled jugak mrs mama pagi2 with the boys especially masa dah mula masuk kerja. Littlebro mmg takde masalah, littleman tu je byk ragam. Dgn mr ayah ok pulak bangun pagi. Dgn mrs mama, siap kena ugut2 takyah pi school (littleman kan suka pi school, berani la mama dier ugut camtu ;)). Sangat menguji kesabaran la this littleman...

Littlebro is doing fine. Dah mula susah nak bg tido skrg nie. Kalau dulu boleh biar tinggalkan, tido sendiri. Now if not atas tangan, riba, or rocking2 sket atas rocker, tak tido la dier... Nasib baik dlm kereta ok. Littlebro goes to nursery in subang jaya, so pagi2 pi kerja dgn mrs mama. SO far dlm keter mmg good boy, takde nangis. Nasib baik jugak la route menentang arus.

About work... mr ayah bz, bz, bz... kalau balik rumah hari masih cerah littleman pun pelik! "Why are you back home in the evening?" Biler balik lambat (after 9pm), "ayah forgot to come home" LOL!!! Mrs mama pulak, is backed to her old workplace, and back doing abap againnn...

Had a chance meeting mrs vogue and her ajmal b4 they leave for colombo. Main bowling @Cineleisure and makan @The steamboat. Kenyang gillerrr!!!

Now, pikir pikir... mana lagi nak letak brg2 biler unpack the boxes!!! peninggg...

Btw, BKL2552 is on the road!!! hehehe...

You help me, I help you...

Situasi begini hanya berlaku bila littleman needs my help to change channel, youtubing, on/off the air-cond, or aper2 lagi la...

Tapi nie kalau mood dier baik... else jawabnyer, "1 second", "5 minutes", "No, thank you", or paling kureng ajor... "you do it yourself"

Hayl Arsyad

Hail to the new Hayl Arsyad... That was a comment from an unlce in DC :)

Unlike littleman's name, we kept to ourselves this littlebro's name until the baby was born and officially registered with JPN. Masa mengandungkan littleman dulu, awal2 lagi dah canang kat org nama bakal baby :)

As most of our frens know, during the pregnancy mrs mama was hoping for a girl. So we had a girl's name for the baby. When the sonographer said it would be a boy, then only we look for a boy's name. It didn't take us much time to come out with Hayl Arsyad. It was decided within one day.

Few facts about littlebro:

• Susah nak dgr littlebro nie menangis. Kalau tak dibiarkan kelaparan, mmg takde chance la nak dgr suara littlebro berkumandang... :D
  
  
• Tak suka berselimut. Agaknyer masa mula mengandungkan dier dulu pun dah hujung2 fall, then winter... dah biaser sejuk la kot, kena cuaca panas nie, maner nak berselimut! tau2 kaki dah atas selimut.
  
  
• Enggan memakai mittens/booties littleman dulu. Asyik tertanggal semuanyer. So, kena pakai yg baru jugak. Ke psl mittens/booties lama tu getah dah longgar?
  
  
• Satu lesung pipit, sebelah kanan. Littleman has 2.

Oh yea, hari nie genap littlebro 3 weeks old.

Welcome Littlebro

Alhamdulillah mrs mama safely delivered the latest addition to our family. Both mrs mama and littlebro are doing fine. Littlebro was born on June 2, 2009 @ 9.25 am in UKMSC, Cheras. Weigh at 3.15 kg and with a length of 47 cm.

Everyone, please welcome, littlebro... (nama nanti we will announce in the next few days, InsyaAllah)

Happy 6th Birthday Harith Arsyad

Today our littleman turns 6 years old. Happy birthday dear... ayah and mama love u so much!!! Cepat2 sket matang yea... :)

This year we just bought a cake and let him choose his own birthday present. We took him to Isetan last Tuesday. Lama betul nak memilih toys. At last he ended up pilih hotwheels set after amik-letak, amik-letak thomas for few times. Agaknyer dah tak tau nak pilih aper dah in Thomas's family... boleh kater semua dah ader.

We celebrated littleman's birthday satu hari in advance, just in case takut tak sempat nak celebrate. Mana la tau, on the 31st mrs mama masuk labor room pulak. The birthday celebration was a simple one among family members. Dlm pada tu, sempat gak buat perangai merajuk bila orang nyanyi birthday song. Tak nak potong cake, tak nak tiup candles. Tapi yg kelakar tu, dlm merajuk2 tu boleh gak tanya "Where's my birthday present?" kat nenek. Bertuah punya anak..

Again, Happy 6th Birthday, Harith Arsyad. Ayah & mama hope you'll be a great young man. We love you sooo much.

(Adakah littleman akan celebrate birthday sama dgn littlebro next year? We will see..)

2 more days or less...

 

ehmmm... mana satu dulu nie??? ke boleh jatuh same day??? tapi yg pasti birthday cake littleman will be pickup a day early. Kot la tak sempat ;)

why 2 more days or less??? Yesterday mrs mama had her regular checkup with prof zainul, @UKMsc. Sepanjang hari actually dah tak sedap perut. Nak kata contractions, dah luper la pulak camner rasa contractions tu, (dah 6 tahun tak bersalin ;))

So masa buat CTG, (cardiotocography (CTG) is a technical means of recording (-graphy) the fetal heartbeat (cardio-) and the uterine contractions (-toco-) during pregnancy, typically in the third trimester -source from wikipedia) dah boleh nampak ader contractions but tak constant. So prof suruh tunggu dulu let it comes naturally. Kami pun malas nak demand same birthdate dengan littleman. Kalau sama, samalah... tak sama pun, we will still celebrate both birthdays sekali :D

Sekarang mrs mama sedang MC di rumah, kalau tak bersalin within these 2 days, Monday morning masuk ward. This littlebro mmg taking his time nak masuk laluan. At 38 weeks baru nak engaged. Semlm, biler prof ckp dah engaged mmg lega giler... Patut la dok sakit2 pinggang :) Anyways, can't wait to meet u, littlebro!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

7 wonderful years with love... may we be bless forever...

Dedication for the Superwomen

Song: A Song for Mama

Artist: Boyz II Men

You taught me everything

And everything youve given me

I always keep it inside

Youre the driving force in my life, yeah

There isnt anything

Or anyone I can be

And it just wouldnt feel right

If I didnt have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me

When skies were grey

Whenever I was down

You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be what you have been to me

Youll always be you always will be the girl

In my life for all times

Chorus:

Mama, mama you know I love you

Oh you know I love you

Mama, mama youre the queen of my heart

Your love is like

Tears from the stars

Mama, I just want you to know

Lovin you is like food to my soul

Youre always down for me

Have always been around for me even when I was bad

You showed me right from my wrong

Yes you did

And you took up for me

When everyone was downin me

You always did understand

You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times

Looking back when I was so afraid

And then you come to me

And say to me I can face anything

And no one else can do

What you have done for me

Youll always be

You will always be the girl in my life

Chorus

Mama, mak & mrs mama, you're all have always been the queen of my heart.

and to all mothers out there,

Happy Mother's Day.

Please don't stop cherish the world with love, tender and kindness.

Weekend anda?

Cuci kereta lorrr... hah? mr ayah cuci kereta? Biler last yek mr ayah cuci kereta? Tak ingat dah, mmg dah lama sgt tak pernah nampak mr ayah cuci kereta.

Littleman yg rajin cuci kereta hehehe... Rajin nyibuk! Actually pagi tu littleman payah nak mandi pagi. So ajak la cuci kereta... Cuci terano arwah atuk and neo mr ayah. Suka la dpt main air... abis org lain yg basah!

Later after zohor all of us went to Marche Movenpick, The Curve for lunch. Tapi mrs mama dipaksa melencong dulu ke MPH oleh littleman setelah usaha dier mengajak cari thomas table gagal. Lama gak kat MPH tunggu mamat kecik tu pilih buku. Rambang mata la tu tgk byk thomas books.

Sempat juga singgah ke rumah KD :)
